The Joy Ride #12

This is the Truth Network. In this podcast, you will hear funny stories, exchanges, and thought-provoking moments that will amuse you, make you smile, and draw you closer to Jesus Christ in your journey of life. Healing is something that we can all use. Another thing that we need is a strong community to belong to.

Let's listen in as Robby and Sam talk about the importance of belonging to a healthy community. But I hate to think how stagnant my life really was, and I didn't have that enthusiasm, you know, that rumbling that he's talking about, and that kind of feeling like I was really engaged in getting healing. But as I got to be part of that community, started to adopt the adventure, you know, and getting all those things going and the rhythm that he's talking about. And so it's kind of neat that the community brought me healing as I brought healing to the community. Yeah, God uses each one of us, as long as we're willing to be a catalyst for the community. You know, there's going to be something that when we let him work in our life and we share with others, to think that that's not going to have an impact on others or he's not going to do something with that is naive to some degree, right?

Because God's planting seeds that may be harvested soon or way down the road, but he's still planting seeds. You know, and we've seen that in our group, you know, where one of us may have an opportunity to get out and get some counseling or read something or God opens our eyes to something, and then that fosters something in someone else, which leads to healing as well. Yeah, it's a fascinating thing.

So something that I never would have put together actually, you know, through that Isaiah 61 passage, you know, he came to heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free. Yeah. And so one leads kind of to the other. Yeah, and it speaks to the importance of trying to find a good community to walk in. Not every community is necessarily a good community. You know, go to a family reunion. So from the guys on Masculine Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road. This is the Truth Network.
